Sažetak
In this paper we investigate the characteristics of non-agricultural self-employment in Austria, Germany and the UK based on national labour force surveys. Probit regressions indicate that the probability of choosing self-employment rises significantly with age and the educational level. We find that the relevance of the educational level differs by country. The magnitude is lowest in the UK and highest in Austria. Furthermore, we find that men were more likely to be self-employed than woman. The finding on the relationship between citizenship and self-employment is mixed. In the UK, workers with foreign citizenship tend are more likely to be self-employed. For Austria, we find the opposite result, while for Germany no differences can be found. When the sample is restricted to self-employed workers, we find that self employed men were more likely to employ own workers than woman. This effect is much more pronounced in Germany than in the UK. Furthermore, less-skilled entrepreneurs are more likely to have no employees than workers medium and high-skilled workers.
